Notable names decline Red Sox's head of baseball ops interview

The Boston Red Sox's search for a new head of baseball operations has hit roadblocks as notable candidates, including Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes and Phillies GM Sam Fuld, have declined to interview for the job. While some see this as a normal part of the process, others view it as a sign of trouble. The Red Sox have struggled to find stability in their front office, with their past three heads of baseball operations not lasting more than four seasons. Red Sox assistant GM Eddie Romero is considered a strong internal candidate, but the team is also looking externally, with Twins president of baseball operations Derek Falvey and Blue Jays VP of baseball strategy James Click among the potential candidates. The search process is expected to be thorough and lengthy.

Cantrell Nominates Former Oakland Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick to Lead NOPD

Mayor LaToya Cantrell has nominated Anne Kirkpatrick, former police chief of Oakland and Spokane, as the permanent police chief of New Orleans. Kirkpatrick's nomination comes after a secretive search process led by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. If confirmed by the City Council, Kirkpatrick will lead the New Orleans Police Department and work towards improving public safety in the city. The nomination is seen as a blow to interim Superintendent Michelle Woodfork, who had been serving as interim chief. Kirkpatrick's previous tenure in Oakland was marked by controversy and criticism over her handling of discipline and police reform.
